If became stronger and more steady. At
last large drops of rain began to fall and
the thunder came nearer and then the storm
hurst and the rain fell in torrents. For an
hour between the crashing thunder, the
falling rain and the roar of the wind, it was
almost impossible for the two watchers in
the depot to hear each other speak Then
the thunder and wind partially ceased and
the storm settled into long, steady rain.
It was about this time that the headlight
of the train was seen and Peter took his
station close to the window so as to go out
the minute it arrived. He had been disap-
nointed number of times, but each time
helped the chances for the next, and it
seemed as if she must come this time. And
again he thought of the house, and of the
wedding tomorrow if she came, but more
particularly of Mary herself. 1t almost
seemed as though he would know it if she
was in the car before the train stopped
And he grew very happy thinking about it
all and almost knew that she would come
this time.
At last the train came and Peter and the
agent went out. They noticed that it was
very short, the one passenger car was miss
ing and oely the baggage car remained.

VORACITY OF BIRDS.
The Amount of Food Required Daily by
Full-Grown Robin.


When Shakespeare made Cassius ash
what kind of food Caesar fed on to max,
him grow so great" he was writing
poetry and not comparative physiology
One might almost say that 'the smaller
the creature, the more it eats o. e. il
proportion of quantity to size); and
surely, big-feeding never develops
chicken into SD ostrich. In the economy
of nature there is more food for the
birds, and they are wisely endowed with
the voracity and the digestion to dispose
of it. AS old Thomas Tusser says:
God sendeth and giyeth both mouth
and the meat"
DR.. Wood tells that if man could
eat as much in proportion TO size as an
insectivorous bird, he would consume a
whole round of beef for his dinner.
The robin, for instance, is, most vo-
racious insect-eater. 1t has been cal
culated that to keep robin up to its
normal weight, an amount of animal
food is required daily equal to an earth
worm fourteen feet in length. Taking
a man of average weight and measur-
ing bulk for bulk with the robin, he
tried to calculate how much food he
would consume in twenty-four hours, if
he ate as much in proportion as the
bird. Assuming 5 bologna sausage to
be nine inches in circumference, which
would be about in proportion to the
man as the earth worm is to the robin,
he finds that the man would have to
eat sixty-seven feet Of such sausages in
every twenty-four hours.
Has such thought as this ever oc-
Cured to the boys who go about over
the country shooting all the robins and
other insectivorous birds they can findP
Every robin or other small bird killed
is a great gain to the insect world, and
a great loss to the farmer, while to the
boy who killed it the carcass is scarcely
worth picking up from the ground

READABLE CAT STORIES.
The Alleged Treacherous Ways of Felines
Due Wholly to Timidity.

Looking out in the street one day we
saw some cruel boys kicking yellow
kitten. We rescued it, and bringing it
into the house it put its little paws
around my neck and licked my face,
thus showing its gratitude. Cats are
said to be less sagacioas than dogs. l
remember one we had when children,
who would follow us out into the street,
walk behind us to the house where we
spent the evening, sit on the doorstep
till we came out, and chen follow US
home. We have had several who could
open different fastenings with ease.
We had ONE who could fetch and carry
like dog, run after a ball or green
apple at any distance, bring it back in
its mouth, and do this as often as re-
quired. 1t has been said that dogs
have been taught to say several words.
We have had cats who could say No."
81 don't" and Nov" as distinctly as
persons. I have not the least doubt
that almost any animal could be taught
some words if continually in the society
of one person and petted. An invalid
lady who lived not far from us had a
canary, who was her companion in her
sick chamber, who would say: I'm
so pretty" This bird died soon after
its mistress. A gentleman in Salem
had tame robin who, constantly hear
ing the phrase "It's time for William
to wash" would say it after his wife.
A stray cat, dropped by some unfeeling
person, became the mother of four kit
tens, which she lodged in neighbor's
hens nest. These were drowned. The
cat found food in our yard. The next
brood of kittens were brought by her
and put into a box under the porch.
The box, lined with carpeting, was put
there for any stray cat and she found
it.
Cats are sometimes accused of being
treacherous; this appearance is wholly
they may have may be traced generally
to the way they are treated. If cat is
kept hungry she will be thief, and |
do not blame her. If she is struck and
kicked she will use her claws, and who
can blame her? If she is left out in the
cold shivering she will visit and often
take up her abode with another who is
kind to her. 1t does not become man
to accuse her of treachery, for man is
the most treacherous of all animals
But whoever may neglect or ill-treat
them, they have more friends than enc
mics.
They are the companions of the sick
and lonely, the pets of childhood and
age, and the faithful servants of man.
l have a friend, who, when her Sambo
is asleep in her arm chair, will take a

DEAD AS A MUMMY.
The Complete and Universal Decadence OF
the Roller -Skating Craze.

the Roller-Skatins Craze.
Is there any market for roller
skates?" was asked of Mr.. Jerry Ray
mond, who, with his brother, was the
pioneer of the business.
"None to speak of" was the reply;
''the bottom has fallen clean out of it. :"
HAS the demand entirely ceased?"
practically, yes. We continue to
send few small orders to Canada, the
West and to Australia; with these ex-
ceptions the trade is as dead as an Egyp-
tan mummy"
HAS there been much change in the
price Of skates?"
you'll laugh, probably, when tell
you that the skate we sold two or three
years ago for So and Sc pair can now
be purchased for S1.25 and $3.50, and
yet at these latter figures we can make
a fair profit. OF course, our material
doesn't cost as much as it did then, and
in relation to this matter | want to tell
you something that is quite interesting,
and which very few people outside the
business know any thing about. When
we began the manufacture of skates
lockwood, out of which the wheels were
made, was worth about $50 a ton. In
making the rollers we experimental
with almost every thing that sug-
gested itself, but could discover nothing
that served the purpose so well as the
material mentioned. Of course an
enormous demand for it Immediately
sprang up, and the price also took a
jump. The dealers seemed conscious
of the fact that we could not get along
without it, and in less than no time
they had sent the price from $50 to
$40 ton, and this was the figure they
held it at until the demand slackened.
But this wasn't all. The wood CONF
panies who use lockwood almost exi
clusively in their business, were brought
up with sudden turn when they found
the article had increased so enormously
in price. They couldn't afford to pur-
chase it at such value, and had to
substitute an inferior wood until it be-
came cheaper. We completely drained
the market. and at one time it looked
as if we would be compelled to use
some kind of substitute, but such an
emergency never arose, from the fact
that just about this time the roller
skating business became thoroughly
paralyzed. -"
"Are many of the jobbers stocked up
with skates?'
Eyes, great many of them. know
of number of firms who have from
1000 to 5000 pairs, with no immediate
prospect of ever getting rid of them"
"On the whole, there was not a great
deal of money made on the Kinks, was
there?"
at always pains me to think of that
matter. Look here, at these photo
graphs. There is one that shows the
interior of my Brooklyn rink, which
was the finest in the world. 1t cost
just $S3, 900 to provide the subject for
that little picture. All of those beauti-
full decorations were swept away as
suddenly as if they had been picked up
by a cyclone and ground into splinters.
am not alone in this disastrous ex.
perience; there were hundreds of others
who were served almost as badly as
was. ~ Y. Null and Express.

Ague and consumption;
Father lost his temper,

Dinner cold and scanty,

Floors with water reeking,
Parlors damp and dreary;
Everybody nervous,
Everybody weary;
Things in various places,
Places all demolished,
Everything chaotic
Order all abolished

Sheets and pillows missing;
Lots of time for scrubbing-

All our fear dispelling-
